On Sunday Arsenal will take on Brighton & Hove Albion at Emirates Stadium. Brighton have stripped their tactics right back to basics in recent weeks. They have been unabashedly happy to draw their way over the finishing line and keep Cardiff in the relegation mire. Spurs needed an 88th minute piledriver from Chrstian Eriksen to beat Chris Hughton’s side last week and I think Arsenal will be in ...

Elliot and Scott did a prematch video show on YouTube. It's there for those who want to see it in all its glory. But if video isn't your thing, here's the audio-only, just for patrons!

The least popular episode ever but you're getting it anyway. Elliot had some Arsenal thoughts on his mind and decided to speak them into a microphone. Sometimes when Arsenal wins, you just don't want to stop talking about it. So he didn't.
Here's your instant reaction. And a regular pod coming soon!

The newest pod is pretty doom and harsh on Emery. So here's Clive with his case for the defense of the head coach!

On today’s episode of the Arsenal Vision Post Match podcast, Elliot (@yankeegunner) is joined by doom Dave (@mcmeiks) and Scott (@oh_that_crab) to discuss Arsenal’s massacre at Leicester. The conversation gets off to a rocky start with a debate about Emery’s future at the club. Then the debate gets more specific about the nature of the defeat at Leicester, the tactical plan and what specifically went wrong. Some spe...

Away from home, Arsenal average 11 shots per game. There is, justifiably, a lot of attention on Arsenal’s defence. For some years, the Gunners have become the kind of byword for exploding clown car defending. But slowly, Arsenal’s attacking instincts have also dulled and the offensive potential has dropped- especially away from home.
On Wednesday at Wolves, despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession Arsenal forced 1 shot on target- Sokratis’ goal, a header from a...

All season, Unai Emery has been fighting a war against the balance of his squad which, crudely, has come down to whether or not he fields a fourth attacker. Sometimes he fields Iwobi and Mkhitaryan behind a lone striker, on other occasions, like against Crystal Palace on Sunday, he will field Aubameyang and Lacazette together with a number 10 behind them.
Arsenal’s better performances tend to occur when they have a fourth player providing some support to a front three. The ...

In the first of a new written series, here’s Tim with a preview of Arsenal v Palace.
Arsenal look set to face Crystal Palace on Sunday without Aaron Ramsey. The Welshman has become so valuable to the Gunners because he bridges the gap between a third midfielder and a fourth attacker, essentially playing two roles in one. It’s a balance Emery has struggled with all season, between securing the midfield and sacrificing some offensive potential, or else losing a bit of structu...

For a long time, Paul has been bragging about how many times he watches every match. So Elliot decided to watch a match with him again. And comment on it together. And record the commentary.
And this is that recording.
We used the free match video from Arsenal Player on the Arsenal website and we regularly update the time so you can follow along. Or just listen in if you prefer.
It's a first effort at a new concept. Hopefully one that will improve and continue!

In this edition of “In The Spotlight,” Elliot, Tim, Paul and Scott examine Arsenal’s 2 star strikers. The podcast starts with a discussion of each player’s arrival and the reaction to Arsenal capturing 2 big-name strikers in the space of 2 transfer windows. The panel discusses the wisdom of each acquisition, the impact each player had upon their arrival, and the importance of the friendship the players formed. Scott’s section predictably focuses on a statistical profile of each play...

You may know him as Matt. You may know him as @giantgooner on twitter. Alternatively you may not know him at all. But Matt has the statistics to explain what we can expect from Rennes. And I asked him about it. And he answered. And we were recording it when it happened. And then I took the recording and uploaded it to Patreon. And then I wrote a weird description of it on Patreon. And then I kept writing because I was stuck in a weird narrative loop. *send help*
